                   S&Ds

              S&Ds BY BUTTON


The most certain way to handle a pc with an S&D is to assess for 
the type to give first.

With the pc on the meter, say "Unmock" (or "Make nothing of") 
"Stop" "Withdraw from" "Suppress" "Invalidate" (or any of the 
buttons used in old Problems Intensives). Then take the one that 
read largest and put it in the question "Who or what has attempted
to ______ you?" or "Who or what are you trying to ______?"

When you have listed the question and found the item and given it 
to the pc, you can take the above list, with the one used 
omitted, and take the largest read now on the remaining words and 
put that in the question and get another item for it.

So long as you can get one of the buttons to read, you can get an 
item by doing an S&D with it.

CAUTION: Do not continue to do S&Ds beyond a floating needle.

CAUTION: Do not list an S&D button if the question for the list 
does not read.


        S&Ds BY ASSESSMENT FOR QUESTION

You can also do an S&D by assessing for a button to use in an S&D 
question.

This is done by asking the question

  "What are they trying to do to you?"

Get the pc to list it, find the item and then use it in an S&D 
question.

This works on any case but always works best on cases that 
haven't responded to S&Ds previously.

Fit the resulting item in the question "Who or what is trying to 
______ you?"

               PURPOSE S&Ds

A Purpose S&D by assessment for question can be done by first 
listing "What are you trying to do?" or "What have you tried to 
do?" You test these two questions for the largest read, then you 
list the one that reads best.

When you have the item of "What are you trying to do?" or "What 
have you tried to do?" you fit it into the S&D question "Who or 
what have you failed to ______ (item found)?" or "Who or what 
have you tried to ______?" the two questions tested for largest 
read and then listed for an item.

CAUTION: The question must make sense and be answerable. Don't 
change the wording of the item. Change the question into a 
sensible one.

This form of S&D can give an effect question as the only possible 
question.

If the item found on the first list "______ trying to do" won't 
word causative, word it by effect -- "Who or what has tried to 
______ you ______?"

The whole attempt of this S&D is to find the person or thing that 
has blunted the purpose of the pc.

               ----------

All these S&Ds do not set aside the standard S&D Types W, S and 
U. "Type U" is the basic S&D. They are for use mainly when the pc 
has had a long review history, or a bad ethics history, or is 
insane or suppressive. BUT using them does not evaluate the pc as 
downtone. They give rather magical effects on anyone.

The Purpose S&D is from earlier research and is very magical on 
artists. It has the liability of having to be done sensibly, 
being a sort of goals assessment plus an S&D. Sometimes the goals 
assessment ("What are you trying to do") is magical enough to 
produce a floating needle. If so, don't ever go past it to the 
second question that uses the goal.
